The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. We’ve got a tough stretch ahead for The Reef (Haifa) over the next 16 days. The honest truth is, there isn’t a single good surf option in the whole window. The data shows "poor surf conditions" for every single session from now right through to 7th August. That’s a rough run.
The wind is the main problem. It’s coming from the wrong angles for this spot. The Reef works best with an offshore from the ESE, but we’re seeing a lot of cross-on and onshore winds from the west and southwest, which will just chop everything up. Even when the swell gets a little pulse, like on Saturday 25th July with a 5ft W swell coming in at 8 seconds, the wind is a moderate cross-shore or cross-onshore, so it’ll be a messy, choppy affair. The combined energy hits 301 (moderate) that afternoon, but the wind will ruin it.
The only session that looks even remotely clean is the morning of Sunday 26th July. You’ll see a light breeze from the west (10 km/h) with an offshore wind state and a 3ft WNW swell. The energy is weak (85), but the wind is right. However, the wave comment still says "poor surf conditions," so I wouldn’t get your hopes up. After that, it’s back to small, weak, and wind-affected.
Water temp is running at 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s about the only nice thing going on.
Look, this spot is already inconsistent, and this forecast is a blank run. It’s not unusual for the area to have long periods of flat or poor conditions. Keep an eye on the forecasts; they can change quickly, but for now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.
